Staying in GCB and B&W mansions does not help ninister empathise with the common people.
It is also bad for image.
Suing Bloomberg for an article because they buay song the content shows their vindictuve enabked by their money.
None of us can ever have the financial means to sue someone who said something we dont like.

Obviously they profit from renting cheaply from govt and then renting out their own properties at much higher prices.
But then they cannot admit that they are doing so cos people will be angry.

Our leaders are one-trick ponies who believe that throwing money at the problem will make it go away. They use money to sue their critics and the Opposition into silence, knowing that no judge will dare to rule against them.

Goh Chok Tong once declared in Parliament: “My view remains that when a Minister thinks an allegation made against him is without basis, he should sue.” The problem is that anything said or written about our Ministers that they do not like or embarrasses them is deemed to be "without basis", and our Courts won't dare to rule otherwise.
